Isleta Pueblo Original Acrylic Painting “The Pueblo Announcer” [SOLD]

Isleta Pueblo artist Ed Jojola has the magical ability to incorporate an entire slice of pueblo life into less than ten square inches. This window into life at Isleta shows a native of the village, wrapped in a colorful blanket, standing on rooftop making the daily announcements.

The main item of the painting is the red-blanketed pueblo native, but dominating the imagery is the wonderful adobe home expanding from one side of the painting to the other. There are vigas protruding from the buildings and a traditional stepladder leaning against the adobe building. Almost invisible to the eye is a dog standing next to the ladder. Jojola is a master at presenting his village for others to enjoy.

The painting is framed, signed Shirpoyo and dated 1/10 in lower left.

PERSONAL NOTE: The paintings of Ed Jojola were a regular feature at the gallery until his son passed away a couple years ago, at which time he stopped painting for quite some time. This past December, his wife passed away and he has now decided it is best for him to continue the art career he loves. We are pleased to have more of his paintings in the gallery and we hope to have them on a regular basis.
